LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brandon Cronenberg wrote and directed the science fiction horror movie 'Infinity Pool' in 2023. The film's script was apparently first developed by Cronenberg in 2019, and early plans called for it to be made in France, Canada, and Hungary. Later, Croatia and Hungary were chosen as the project's venues, and the project was postponed until 2021.

Michael Bloom executive produces 'Infinity Pool' along with Jeff Deutchman, Ryan Heller, and Mariah Zuckerman, all of whom previously worked together as producers on the Princess Diana biopic, 'Spencer'. The main actors in this multi-national production are Alexander Skarsgard, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman as well as many others in significant roles.

Who's acting in the movie 'Infinity Pool'?

Alexander Skarsgard, a Swedish actor best known for his television debut as Eric Northman in HBO's 'True Blood' series, portrays James Foster. Cleopatra Coleman, an Australian actress, plays Em Foster, James' wife. At the age of 15, Coleman made her acting debut in the Australian sci-fi teen drama 'Silversun'. Since then, 'In the Shadow of the Moon', a 2019 Netflix original film directed by Jim Mickle, has become her most well-known work. Mia Goth will be taking on the role of Gabi in 'Infinity Pool'. Based on the trailer Gabi seems to be the character that serves as the catalyst for the events that take place in the film. The actor and writer/director Jalil Lespert from France will play Gabi's husband Alban. In the teaser, he can be heard asking Alexander Skarsgrd's persona what he does "for money" in between books. Although it is unclear from the trailer whether or not his character is directly connected to the film's plot, it is most likely that he will be deemed "guilty by association" with Goth's character, Gabi.

What is the plot of 'Infinity Pool'?

A wealthy couple named James (Alexander Skarsgard) and Em Foster (Cleopatra Coleman) are on vacation at an all-inclusive island resort in the imaginary nation of Li Tolqa when the plot of this gritty thriller with a current setting is introduced. James, a well-known novelist, inadvertently kills a man in his automobile, and the sleazy local police sentence him to death. James chooses the absurd course of action of paying to have a copy of himself created in order for that copy to accept the blame and be put to death. As a result, a deranged James is presumed dead and is free to murder without being held accountable, providing Cronenberg with a range of morally grey and gory possibilities to consider.

What is the buzz around 'Infinity Pool'?

'Infinity Pool' written by David Cronenberg is a package full of dark, biting jokes, many of which will have you laughing aloud. There are a lot of odd details in this film, but they all have a purpose. For example, the Leatherface-like masks that appear in the teaser both heighten the feeling of depersonalization and suggest the commodification of indigenous traditions.

'Infinity Pool' will arrive in theaters in the US on January 27, 2023. Watch the trailer below.
